A survey of Uruguay's largest forestry entities and investors consistently singled out financing and access to capital as major challenges for Uruguayan firms relative to their competitors in larger countries with more developed capital markets. These issues associated with financing created opportunities for encouraging and attracting significant foreign direct investment in Uruguay's forest products industry. The case provides insights for countries seeking to support the expansion of forest industry investment and capacity through financing and regulatory policies.  aFORESTACIÓN  aINDUSTRIA FORESTAL  aURUGUAY  aEXPORTS POLICY  aFOREST INDUSTRY  aINVESTMENT  aTIMBERLANDS1 aMORALES, V.1 aBENNADJI, Z.1 aMORENO, A.1 aSIRY, J.  tJournal of Forestry, Volume 105, Issue 3, April 2007, Pages 125-130.
